I've met a few Mars in Scorpio's in my life and I've found that of the ones I've known they can be very territorial when it comes to other people and just controlling things in general. I always seem to get into silent power struggles with them except I humbly bow out because I see those battles as unnecessary.

I have a friend who's a Libra with Mars in Scorpio and she gets threatened incredibly easily. She likes to have her hands on everything, to be in complete control and if it seems like control is being passed to someone else a power struggle breaks out. We used to work together and I'd be talking to a male coworker all the while she'd be giving us glares and trying to intersect into the conversation. It was annoying and kind of disrespectful. She does this all the time when I'm talking to men. It's like if they are in her vicinity their off limits. Mind you they were just coworkers, but those tendencies always came out.

She used to have power struggles with coworkers all the time, it got so extreme we had to have a work meeting to discuss it. She apologized but it just made me wonder about Mars placements and how we feel threatened and possibly act out by being territorial and engaging in power struggles.

I have Mars in Aries and I'm a fighter at heart (a peaceful fighter of course Libra Sun) and I don't get territorial but I can be pretty assertive. I'm sensitive to power struggles because I feel like I attract them. People who want to battle it out to prove their strength or authority. To de-power me in a sense because I think they might be threatened by my power, I'm really not sure. But it happens to me at an abnormally high rate. They do say with Mars in the 1st to engage with the world means to cross swords with it. It might be Mars in the 1st.

Any who are you territorial, power hungry or do you easily feel threatened? What is your Mars sign and add aspects? Describe experiences and examples if that helps to paint a broad picture. Thanks

ima mars in scorpio first houser. pluto is on the ascendant. (not sure y i should look at it but someone mentioned it) my aspects are mars opposite sun and mars conj saturn. i'm not territorial but i'm abit exclusive. virgo 11th house.

power hungry, abit i guess but i think i'm more natural at leadership that it doesn't feel like a struggle.

easily threatened, no also. by what? a co worker? i have no idea what intimidating would be at work. i would look up to them if i thought they were superior to me or i'd admire that quality of theirs. i dunno. any other specifics?

i do feel that people around me try to control me. so there are definite power struggles. ima taurus sun so i just won't budge.

at home i do not like being disobeyed and i like a certain standard kept up. i have a cap ic so i can be abit strict in the home. kinda like gordon ramsay inspecting a kitchen lol!

I'm extremely confrontational...sometimes I like to pick fights, I like to argue and debate and cause tension and conflict. Sometimes I feel challenged and I will immediately get defensive, and I am VERY territorial.

However, I am not a control freak. I have no problem letting others take the wheel for certain things or do things their way if that makes it easier for me lol

If the truth is relative then there's nothing that is really true.

You were created the same way I was and will eventually be destroyed the same way as well.

I am also very suspicious about people's motives, and this does not come from bad experiences but is just at the core of my personality.
My Moon and Venus conjunction in Libra thinks the best of everyone and is very inviting, and it is a challenge to balance these contradictory dominant factors...

I am not power hungry at all, though (virgo Sun...), but I am somewhat a control freak in my own surroundings.

But yeah...I'm assertive..aggressive..even violent..not what one would expect from sweet Pisces right? Haha...sometimes I wonder if I just got that angry/aggressive side of me from my dad..his personality is like that, but...he also has Mars in Pisces

---

yeah you know what. ******* people with mars in pisces like you are all ******* talk. my neighbor is pisces and mars in pisces conjunct, just like my ******* stepdad, yeah you guys can be mean and violent, but thats only against people you know you can get away with it with. when somebody comes who can do worse than you, you guys are total ******* pussies and break so ******* easily. something about a typical mars in piscean trait of men who like to beat on women? lmfao.

Then again she could be the scapegoat for everyone else's **** and is sticking up for herself. Is she combative or polite? Politeness has a lot of kudos in my book, assertiveness does too, aggressiveness is poor.

---

She was definitely NOT the scapegoat. She'd challenge situations because she felt threatened but our coworkers weren't necessarily challenging her. She had been through a lot in her life it's probably why she tended to be extremely defensive and in turn act out.

Easily threatened in general. My situation occurred in the workplace but of course you can feel threatened anywhere by anyone. On the street, at the gym, at the grocery store? It could be anywhere. You could feel threatened if you're not in control of a situation, who knows.

posted November 16, 2011 01:05 PM            

@SerpeantKing - chill the **** out. i dont beat people up, my dad has never hit a woman besides one who actually attacked him. and no, i don't back down to someone i know can whoop me because all astrology aside, my flight-or-fight response is naturally fight.

My confrontational and argumentative side only comes out when I am challenged..and that is what this thread is about, how Mars reacts to being challenged. My dad and I actually have a lot of compassion for others but our temper is HOT and our fuse short, and our violence is in our words not our actions. Mars is not very active in Pisces as far as the physical goes. In my situation - my dad IS all talk when it comes to physical violence. He will get ****** off and say some mean things but he was never the one to spank or slap us. He doesn't have the heart to. My mom put out the physical abuse, and her Mars is in Gemini.

I've physically beat two people in my life and both times I was younger than 10 and one of those times was to defend my little brother who was being beat up. My violence not only comes through words but through revenge. You betray or wrong me, I will retaliate to the point of destroying something dear to you if that is what you did to me. I have done that many times, too..stood against businesses and companies, too.

So..go take a hit of something, you need to calm the f down.

Territorial? Absolutely, in terms of my actual home, my actual belongings, my personal space, and the details of my private life. Very territorial and protective.

In terms of power-issues or control-freak type stuff in general? No. I'm pretty much live and let live, and if something doesn't involve me or isn't connected to me in any way, then I pretty much don't care.

Natively Joan, when u were talking about that girl at work, the first thing that popped into my mind was sun pluto conjunction. A powerful, controling personality. I think this is more of a comination of her sun pluto and all those scorpio placements more than just mars in scorpio. I know 4 mars in scorp very closely and of the 4 only one is just a tad like that and not even really.

I'd say I like to be in control of things but wouldn't that just be typical of my Capricorn sun? I'd say though I find myself going along with what people suggest. Like I resist but i give in for the most part. I have a hard time saying no. Unlesss it's something that I don't wanna do then I just run away hahaha. I don't get seriously jealous over things. I find that if I embrace something it's easier for me to not be jealous of it because in a way I possess it by embracing it.

---

LOL i read the first post and was like hmmm i can't really think of anything. I hope another mars in sag posts first so i can think about it. I don't have a hard time saying no, in fact I have a hard time saying yes to things that people want me to do. I'm so naturally contrary that it can be a real problem, but i think that's my aqua sun. That especially manifests romantically, just because it makes sense that i should sleep with someone, the fact that it's so un-verbally agreed upon, makes me want to jump the other way. I'm attracted to the imbalance, but i have a hard time being the one who's submissive, even though my venus leans that way.

I'm not power hungry, unless i see someone else that's power hungry and then i will rise to the top. Not because i want the power but because i'll be damned if they think they deserve that power. I'll take the power if i can honnestly know that i'm a better candidate for it than the others. I don't like anybody bullying or disrespecting others, especially people in the service industry and i'll always fight for the underdog. also, i like to take down big egos.
